Easter Egg Hunt at Palmetto Prep 3-21-08

On Friday after noon, March 21st, I arrived at Palmetto Prep around 2:00 pm. It was a gorgeous day!! When I got there, I headed to Emily's class to help in getting set up for the Easter party. Mrs. Taylor, the other pre-k teacher was there, so I helped her in getting the drinks ready before Ms. Doyle arrived back in the class with Mrs. Taylor's students. Mrs. Taylor took her students and met up with Ms. Doyle's class, while Ms. Doyle and I headed out to the infant play ground to hide the eggs. After we had started hiding the eggs, Amy, the room mother for Ms. Doyle's class arrived and helped us finish hiding the eggs. Needless to say, there were lots of eggs, and towards the end we ran out of hiding places so we started scattering them in the grass. After hiding the eggs, we headed back to the class to get the kids plates fixed for the party. Soon after we started fixing them, Daddy and Katrina arrived to help. We go t things set up and then headed back outside to meet up with the kids. On our way, we headed to Ansley and Bailey's door to see them. Luckily their hunt was starting so we were able to get them and help them in looking for eggs. Ansley immediately found two in the play tunnel and she was happy. Bailey found her first one and she was thrilled. The girls seemed to want to play in the grass with their eggs, so we took a seat and they shook their eggs. Soon, Emily's class arrived. They were coming through the toddler playgroup and heading over to the infant play ground to start their hunt. I carried Bailey and Daddy had Ansley for Emily's hunt. Unlike the toddles, it was fast and furious for the big kids in the pursuit of eggs. They all seemed to have a great time and Emily's basket was overflowing with eggs. Towards the end, the kids loved showing their eggs off to Mrs. Taylor, Ms. Doyle, and all the other parents and grandparents. After the hunt was over, we all headed back over to Emily's class for the party. The kids really enjoyed their snacks, but I think they were more anxious than anything to open their eggs. We did not stay a long time before headed over to Ansley and Bailey's class to pick up their bags and snack. They were also having a party in their room. After getting their stuff, we all headed out, I took the little ones, and Emily headed home with Daddy and Katrina to spin the night.
